It doesn't/cannot.  It may move from one set of tracks to another, but 
it remains part of the same rail system.

The generic English definition closest to x1 of trene is:
"a succession of vehicles or pack animals traveling in the same direction"

If one goes to a generic train, such as a caravan, there may be no 
iron-tracks at all.  The caravan may travel on a highway system, or 
perhaps it is camels traveling on the x3 "The Silk Road" (from the 
Middle East to China)

Rail train cars may be owned by several organizations, but the railroad 
is operated by a single one, which assembles those cars into a train.
